Chapter 2- Thefts and jokes involving Poké balls

"Honey! Do you have the rattle?" asked woman as she tried to calm the baby down.

"No sorry. Listen I have to see Professor Rowan, when I come back in the next hour I promise to find it" a man replied as he threw his jacket on. The woman sighed while smiling.

"Fine but hurry back! Your Feraligatr is getting annoyed" she said before kissing him on the cheek. He smiled softly before heading off.

Maki that day wore a white shirt with black bootleg trousers. She wore plain black boots that went up to her lower knees. Her hair was the same as the week she got the letter only this time she had a white hair band with a sapphire blue flower attached to it, the hair band also had blue ribbons weave around it which made it more decorative. She went to the door way to see Domonic near the doorway with her keys.

"I'll take care of them I promise" he said. Maki nodded as she slipped a blue fleece on which had a bell like shape to it as it went up to the top part of her knees.

"You better Gyarados is on a diet so if I find her fat I'll make sure that you'll never see healthy food again" she warned. Domonic laughed at her.

"Chill you'll be fine just see the Professor, get a Pokémon and Pokédex and start already! I want to hear what happens" he said as he shoves her out the house. She glared at him through the door before heading off to Elm's lab in New Bark Town with Cubone following her.

As soon as she entered the lab itself looked chaotic, she willed herself now to put her hand on her mouth to mask her surprised expression.

"Professor?" she asked weakly as the starter Pokémon were running amuck. However when she looked to her right she saw a lonely Cyndaquil hiding from the fiasco that laid out before it. Her eyes softened at how vulnerable it looked them her expression went hard as she looked at everyone else.

"Alright! That's enough!" she yelled causing complete silence. Elm looked at her while restraining a Totodile, he yelped in shock while releasing the petrified Totodile. Totodile went to hide on the other side of the rooms behind the computer. Chikorita stared as if it had been electrocuted.

"Sorry! The Pokémon were restless today since it's lunchtime for them" Elm said as he fished out the tray of Pokémon food.

"Say sorry to Cyndaquil first! It's petrified the poor thing" she snapped before crouching in front of Cyndaquil. It yelped in fright before going into a ball.

"It's alright. I won't hurt you... are you hungry?" she asked as she got up to get a few pieces of its food. She hurried back and took one with her other hand. She opened her hand that had the one piece of Pokémon food.

"It's alright now... won't you come out?" she asked. Cyndaquil squeaked as it went tighter inside its protective ball.

"Will she be alright?" asked Elm's assistant.

"Sssh! Just watch" Elm said as he witnessed cyndaquil open its eyes to look at her. It started to sniff the food before uncurling itself. It leaned on her fingers as it took a bite of the food. Maki giggled as its nose brushed against her hand. It shot back due to fear but she picked it up and held Cyndaquil in her arms so it could get the other food.

"Don't be scared you just tickled me that's all" she said softly. Cyndaquil looked up before eyeing the food. Maki placed the food closer so Cyndaquil could get it. In the end Cyndaquil started to munch on the food happily making everyone relax.

"Well I'll be, Cyndaquil likes her" Elm's assistant said as Totodile rushed over to Maki and Cyndaquil. Totodile jumped with joy as it tried to make Cyndaquil laugh, it smiled as its plan worked.

"It's true, finally though... I feel bad that she's been stuck here for over a year without a trainer wanting her" Elm said. He approached the trio who looked at him.

"So do you want to go with her Cyndaquil?" he asked. Cyndaquil nodded sharply.

Maki smiled at Cyndaquil.

"Well Cubone looks like Cynda wants to join" Maki said. After she said that Cubone went over to Cynda and leered at Cynda sharply. Cynda glared back at him with more determination, after a few minutes Cubone nodded as it became satisfied with the results.

"(She can join)" Cubone said. Cynda's eyes widened in shock and happiness as her dream had finally come true. She jumped onto Cubone who yelped in shock.

"(Thank you very much! I promise I won't let you down)" Cynda yelled with glee as she raced in a circle then stood on its hind legs so she could give them her attention.

"(You're so lucky)" Totodile said grudgingly. Cynda smiled at him weakly.

"(After being stuck here for over a year you get bored out of your skull. I hope your trainer treats you well!)" She said with a smile. Totodile grinned wolfishly as he gave her a hug.

"(You concentrate on yours and I'll be waiting for mine)" Totodile smiled before going to Professor Elm.

"Here are your Poké balls and also can you run an errand if that's not a problem for you of course" Elm asked. Maki nodded with a smile.

"Sure what is it?" she asked.

"You see, Mr. Pokémon has something for me which will help my research. He says he has a Pokémon egg that is unusual. But I can't leave theses Pokémon here alone since you never know what will happen" Elm said as he scratched his head as he felt embarrassed.

"Sure I'll go get it" she said with a smile.

"Thank you so much. I promise I'll make it up to you" Elm said feeling grateful for her help. Maki looked at the sad Totodile and bent down so she could hug him.

"Don't worry. I'm sure your trainer is nice" she whispered softly. Totodile smiled lightly and waved as she and Cynda went off to see Mr. Pokémon.

After a few hours of training and relaxing they relaxed at Mr. Pokémon's house after arriving. Mr Pokémon handed her an odd egg.

"This is what I wanted to explain to him about" he said as he handed it over to her. Maki observed it as she ran her fingers along the smooth surface of the egg. She examined the markings and nodded.

"This is a Togepi egg" she said as she began to remember seeing a Togepi before.

Both men looked at her in shock.

"But how did you know?" the other man asked. Maki smiled at him warmly.

"Well sir if you look on the Pokédex the only Pokémon matching the description of the egg is a Togepi, a Togetic and a Togekiss" she explained as she felt the warmth emanating from the egg.

"That is extraordinary and she's right" the man said as he showed them the picture of a Togepi.

"This will definitely help Professor Elm with his research. Thank you Miss?" Mr Pokémon asked.

"Maki Miwa" Maki replied with a smile.

"Well Maki Miwa. Here's a Pokédex. I hope you can make great use of it" the man said.

"Thank you Professor Oak" she said with a smile. Professor Oak looked at her for a moment as if he was having Déjà vu.

"Well I guess you need to be off" Mr. Pokémon said snapping Oak out of his daze.

"H-Hold on can I ask. Have you ever entered the Pokémon league in Kanto?" he asked. Maki looked at him with a soft smile.

"No sir... I'm just a beginner like everyone else" she said feeling a twinge of regret for lying. Oak looked at her for a bit before sighing.

'It must have been my imagination' he thought before bidding her farewell. After she left, Mr. Pokémon chuckled.

"That girl has changed a bit since last time. Wouldn't you say?" Mr Pokémon asked. Oak looked at him then nodded.

"Blue and Red will definitely have their hands full when she comes to Kanto" Oak said as he saw the trio laughing as they tried to out run the other to Cherrygrove City.

The Xtransceiver on her wrist started to beep. Even though people in the Johto region had a Pokégear as a phone. She decided to wear it as it was a gift from Alder. She pressed the call button.

"Hello?" she asked. She winced as police sirens were in the background.

"Maki Help! Someone has stolen Totodile! Please hurry back but avoid trouble please!" Elm's frantic voice could be heard from the Xtransceiver. Cubone and Cynda nodded at her then rushed off.

"OUCH!" Maki cried out as she bumped into someone. She gritted her teeth as her arm got grazed from the impact. She felt blood leave her arm making her angry.

"Can you catch where you're going!" she snapped. Her eyes widened as she recognised the person in front of her.

"Out of my way kid! Can't you see I was running?" he snapped. She glared as she stood up and folded her arms. She ignored the sting in her arm.

"Well excuse me but when it comes to your timing! It stinks!" she crinkled her nose with dislike. The boy stared at her as if sizing her up.

"You got a Pokémon at the lab?" he asked. Maki blinked at him.

"Such a waste for a wimp like you" Cubone and Cyndaquil stared at him with anger in their eyes as he offended Maki.

"Oh really huh?" she challenged him with a glare which showed that she was unimpressed.

"Don't you get what I am saying?" he asked as he mocked her.

"No not really. All I see is a boy trying to act as if he's all that but really he's just a beginner" she said casually. Cynda sniggered lightly while covering her mouth with her hands.

"My Pokémon is stronger" he said as he tossed his Pokéball into the air to reveal a confused Totodile. The trio blinked at him in shock.

"Oh no you didn't! You stole him? What were you thinking?" she yelled at him.

"Yeah so what if I did" he said. Cynda sent ember near the boy's feet making him fall on the floor. He glared at Cynda who glared.

"You think that's funny? Fine Totodile use water gun" the boy said. Totodile just blinked at him as if the boy was an idiot. Maki and Cubone covered their faces while Cynda just sweat dropped.

"Cynda's had more training experience which allowed her to learn ember. Totodile hasn't so he can't use it. Jeez! I can't believe a nube like you didn't study" Maki said feeling embarrassed for Totodile.

"Sh-Shut up! Use scratch Totodile" the boy said feeling completely embarrassed and humiliated. Totodile charged at Cynda who dodged using quick attack.

"Use dig then ember" Maki said. Cynda dug a hole so fast that it avoided another scratch attack. Cynda used ember in front of her burning the ground below Totodile. Totodile's feet got burned from the heat. Cynda jumped out.

"Tackle" Maki said to Cynda as she knew the result. Totodile was out cold.

"You have a lot of nerve going that" he said as he returned Totodile into its Pokéball.

"Says the boy and second what is your name?" she asked as she felt annoyed that she didn't know his name.

"My name? Is none of your business but if you must know I am going to be the world's greatest trainer" he snapped. After he finished ranting he shoved her against the fence. A shiny object got Maki's attention. Maki looked at the shiny object which revealed a trainer's card. It said Silver. She smiled lightly at the name.

'It suits him' she thought.

She stood up so she could get his attention.

"Yo boy! You forgot something... Silver" she said in a teasing voice. Silver tripped over a rock after he heard his name being called. He leered at her then gasped as he saw his trainer's card in her hand. He marched over and snatched it hoping it would hurt her but surprisingly she just smiled at him. Her hand however touched his jacket pocket for less than a second without him realising it.

"You saw my name?" he pushed her again before running this time without looking back.

Maki sniggered at his hasty action. She took something out her pocket to reveal a Poké ball that had a water symbol on it.

"That was easy" she said while smirking at how careless he was she tossed it in to the air. It span for a bit before allowing gravity to claim it. The ball continued to spin as it landed on her finger.

"Well guys let's head back, we have training session to go to" she said. Her Pokémon nodded in agreement. Cynda looked at her oddly while Cubone shook his head at her childish behaviour.

"Okay this guy's face was so fat I was left to stare at it in shock, he had big spots making look like he can't see. His arms are stringy and his legs have scars on them. He wears a 'devil may cry' shirt and a chain on his jeans. He even wears pink and white clown shoes as well, does that help officer?" she asked in a sweet voice. Everyone in the room's eyes looked as if they were going to pop out of their sockets as she drew them a picture while describing the perp in detail. The officer coughed in his fist as his face was red from trying not to laugh.

"Miss are you sure that's him?" he asked. Maki glared at him which meant 'if you question me again your ability to have children will be sent out the window' he nodded at her feeling very scared.

"Well we'll catch him so don't worry" he said as he left with the picture.

'I better get a promotion for this if this is an actual guy' he thought.

"This is terrible, even when I was in the room..." Elm said as he slumped onto his chair. Maki looked at her Pokémon with a sly expression.

"Yeah I feel sorry for it, now that I'm giving it back to you" she said.

"That's true... wait what?" he looked at her as she showed him Totodile's Pokéball. He took it and gazed at it with confusion but at the same time relief.

"How did you-?"

"I got his attention after he dropped his trainer card from shoving me onto a fence. When the moment he snatched it. I spotted the where the ball was and took it so quickly that he wouldn't notice anything. He would of thought that it was the winds doing and that he left it open" she said casually. Elm stared at her with mixed emotions as he laughed at her reckless move. He looked at Totodile's ball then passed it back to her.

"Keep it. He wanted you to be his trainer... he was so miserable when you left" Elm said as he stood up.

"Thank you" she said as she pocketed the Poké ball.

"One more thing... thanks for giving me the Togepi egg" Elm said with a smile. She smiled at him with a soft expression before heading off.

Well that was fun!
